If cell A2 has the number 5 in it (as a result of a calculation in that cell), is it possible to get the next five cells in that cell to colour themselves in?
Obviously, as and when the value in cell A2 changes, i need the number of cells coloured in to change as well.
In addition to this, the rows that this will happen in will vary week to week so i'm not sure if VBA is the way to do this.
Also would there be any problem with negative figures as when that happens i don't want any cells to colour in at all.
How do i have colouring to a reference cell what i mean is that on certain formula i get BUY or Sell on that cell. As per the conditional formatting i have made the colour change BLUE FOR "BUY" & RED FOR "SELL"
On second sheet i link the above TEXT., but the COLOUR OF THE TEXT Does not come.
Does CONDITIONAL Formatting come with reference cell.
I've been trying to get a macro together which would colour all the tabs in my workbook based on whether or not a certain value exists in a certain cell. In this case the cell is C7 and the word there is "elective class:".
I have a column for each month where the dates are entered on rows. Is it possible I can color a cell if the date entered in a cell for that month is 15 days past the end of the month. Like, if in a January column I enter a date on one of the rows as Feb.20, then the cell fills with red colour. I tried doing it using conditional formatting, but don't know how to say 15 days past end of the month?
As you can see from below I already have a spreadsheet which updates the fill colour of cells based on a certain criteria. This was initially set up in Excel 2003....I have now moved onto 2010 and want to use a certain colour based on it's RGB value. I tried as you can see from below, the part which is commented out (as it didn't work)
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim n As Long, lngIndex As Long For n = 6 To 842
I have a spreadsheet that contains data I import from various sources. Once the import is complete I need to colour various cells based on their contents. Normally I'd use conditional formatting, but there are more than 3 conditions so I need to use VBA (preferrably that i can turn into a macro and assign to a button to click once I've finished the imports each time)
eg: Everytime a cell content is the word "RED" , colour it red - then the same with various other colours.
Google has found me a change event piece of code but it doesnt work when you're cutting and pasting some info.
I have a rather large database that I'm trying to automate colours in, based on data that is inserted into Column 'D'. I've used the following code (with some success), but it colours columns that I don't want to colour:
VB: Sub KeyCellsChanged() Dim Cell As Object For Each Cell In Range("D1:D5000")
[Code].....
That works fine - but the problem I have is that I only want to colour columns A:N, Q, T, V, AB:AE, etc. (random columns and not always together). I have already tried to replace parts (as follows), but get all sorts of errors (in particular Run-time error 1004):
VB: If Cell = "Rabbit" Then Cell.Range("A:N,Q, T, V, AB:AE").Interior.ColorIndex = 42
Is there someway that a line of code can determin which cells to colour in the row, or alternatively code that will colour the columns a specific colour and make them stay that colour when the first code above is used?
Just trying to work out the best way to be able to determine autoshape colours using cell values. For example I have 12 shapes that need to coloured either Red, Green or Orange depending on a specific cells value, 1 for Red, 2 for Green and 3 for Orange.
I have sort of managed to successfully complete this for 1 of the shapes, by using the RGB Fill option (Using 3 = Red, 4 = Green and 45 = Orange). But cannot for the life of me work out how to do this for multiple shapes using different cell triggers. Below is the code that I currently have and the spreadsheet that is linked to:
how I might be able to colour certain cells in a row a specific colour when a specific value is input.
For instance: The value "A" is put into row A1. A1 and C1 cell colours change to green The value "B" is put into row A2. A2 and C2 cell colours change to orange etc. (not sure how many colours yet)
I sort of have a script set up, but there are certain things I dont know how to do. Like target the specific cells that need colouring.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Column = 0 Then Exit Sub Select Case Target.Value Case "A" Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 1 Case "B" Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 2 Case "C" Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Case Else Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 0 End Select End Sub
I have a gone through quite a few topics in this forum.....but couldnt find answer to my question....may be because its too basic. I have a worksheet with 10 columns. I am trying fill colour in the rows that have "text" in column J (in other words.....their column J is not blank). I figured out how to fill the colour in the cells in column J when they are empty, but cant figure out how to colour the entire row from A:J.
I'm trying to automatically shade a number of cells dependant on the value in a single cell. ie. If D2="quote" then I want A2:Q2 to be yellow. If D2="Design" then I want A2:Q2 to be green etc etc. I have about 6 options in all of what D2 could be. I then want to repeat this for about 200 rows.
I am currently using a piece of code (within a bigger piece) that colours the dates in two columns based on how close it is to the current date. It works fine but sometimes the sheet it is looking in has over 3500 rows so it is taking for ever (well over 6 mins)
The code is
HTML Code:
Sub ColDate() 'date case opened application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim MyRg As Range Dim F As Range Dim DateDiff As Long Set MyRg = Range("g1:h" & Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row) For Each F In MyRg
I currently have some code which reads a stock file, adding up the stock for each individual item (which may be in one or more locations in the warehouse) and then placing the total stock count in a cell with the detail (of how much stock is in each location, the location and the expiry date) and a separate line for each location, in a comment.
The comment is constructed one line at a time as the code finds the stock records, see code below:
With shtWorking.Range(strStartColumn & intRow + 2) oldComment = .Comment.Text .Comment.Delete .AddComment oldComment & vbNewLine & strComment .Comment.Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True End With All this works very nicely, but I want to colour individual lines depending on the expiry date. This can be done manually in Excel, but I cannot find a way of colouring individual lines of text in a comment using VBA.
So, does anyone know of a way I can colour individual lines of text in a comment, using VBA?
I'm a teacher and would like to show progress in my pupils achievements by colouring coding cells in excel. For each subject they are given a level, e.g. 2b. If they show progress, they would move up, i.e. to a 2a. The whole progress scale is shown below:
To make the spread sheet visual i would like colour code the cells depending on whether progress has or has not been made. If they go up (e.g. 2b to 2a) i would like the cell to turn green, if they go down (e.g. 2c to 1a) i would like the cell to turn red. If not progress has been made then the cell can stay uncoloured. Each cells colour would only be dependent on the cell directly to the left.
I am trying to get a row of cells to highlight a percentage based on a date range
Below is an example of what my spreadsheet will look like, very simple for managers to read and understand but I am stuck on how i can get this to display the right way.
In the example i would need the Jan column to colour for a certain percent for 21 days and continue to feb for 26 days. Im not sure if this makes sense but this is what they are asking for. Colour bars to simple show the percent of days off each month.
Name Start Date End Date Jan Feb Mar
Dale 11/01/14 26/02/14 21 days 26 days
I have attached the spreadsheet for an example : Book1.xlsx‎
I need to match data in cell A to cell B and then if they equal I need to copy the adjacent cell C to cell X . How do I set up a macro to do this automatically? I have over 5000 cells to compare and match up.. I have Office 2003.
I'm wondering if it is at all possible to have a cell comment automatically update depending on what data is input in the cell (via user input, VLOOKUP, etc.)?
For example, if cell A1 contains the text "CHARLES" with a comment saying "Employee of the Month", and is then subsequently updated with the new text "JOHN" (again, via direct input, a VLOOKUP, data validation, etc.) is there a way to have the comment automatically update to say something else, such as "Team Lead" for example?
I've considered using VBA to accomplish my goal, but am unsure how to compose an effective code to do so. I've also considered perhaps creating a named table filled with all the different comment possibilities I would like to have used in this cell and then inputting a formula in either cell A1, or the comment contained therein, that would then call the corresponding text from that table based on the data in cell A1. Honestly, I'm not sure that what I'm trying to do is even possible;
When I use the mouse pointer to select a cell I can't use the arrow keys to move to another cell while the pointer is over the cell and I can't edit the cell while the pointer is over the cell. If I move the pointer away from the cell then I can move around and edit as normal therefore I don't think this is a scroll lock issue.
This issue also happens when I select a tab. If I select a tab and then leave the pointer over the tab I selected then I can't use the arrow keys to move around the worksheet or edit a cell; if I move the pointer away from the cell then I can move around and edit as normal.
I have 2 problems relating to LOOKUP. Not sure if Excel can perform these calculations as they could get to complex.
Problem 1 Can it be possible to have excel look at data from one cell reference another cell then display the results from the cell next to it in another cell, sort of example:
Tab 1 (Never changes) AB Bob1 Jon2 Fred3
Tab 2 (Dynamic, changes each week) AB Jon Fred Bob
So it would work as follows. Tab2 column B will take Tab2 column A’s data check Tab1 column A and display Tab1 column B’s result.
Problem 2
Weekly league rank table that shows position movements week by week Example.
Week1 1Jon 2Bob 3Fred
Week2 1FredUp 2 2BobNot Moved 3JonDown 2
Can Excel calculate/show the actual movements of league positions?
I have the following range of cells B2:Y3700. I want that when a value from 1 to 9999 is inserted in one cell of the above mentioned range, to copy the row number of that cell in the cell that is located in column Z and row is the number inserted in that cell. For example, if the number "1234" is inserted in one cell from range B2:Y3700, to enter in cell Z1234 the number of the row where is located the respective cell. At same the time is very important to me to not permit to insert the same number in B2:Y3700, so i believe that is need a macro code to check the cell from column z to see if value already exist .
formula to copy a cell to a new cell if the previous cell meets the condition.
i have attached an example work book.
so what im looking for is on sheet 1 there is a table and cell G9 shows Apples. on Sheet 2 is a second table where the information is in slightly different rows.
I want to be able to [When Sheet 2 Column C = Sheet 1 Column G Then Paste Sheet 2 Column D into Sheet 1 Column H (next to Apples)]
Then i would like in Cell J9 to look something like [When Sheet 2 Column C = Sheet 1 Column G Then Paste Sheet 2 Column F into Sheet 1 Column J] and i would like Cell I9 to look something like [When Sheet1 Column J = Sheet 1 Column L Then Paste Sheet 1 Column M into Sheet 1 Column I]
G9 H9 I9 J9 L M <-- hidden C D E F Sheet 1 |Apples| 20 | Hot |Average | Hot | Average Sheet 2 |Apples| 20 | AP | Average
I need to assign the ID value to the cell in the source column when it matches the cell value in the email column.
i.e from the email column the first cell value is bobjohnson@email.com his ID value is 0 I need to find all the cells with bobjohnson@email.com in the Source column and assign them 0.
I have a spreadsheet with details of letters that should be responded to within 20 days, and i want to have a cell showing the amount that that need a response within 10 - 5 days. Basically I want to have a value of one returned to a cell in a row if one cell in that row contains a value between 10 and 5 (less than 11, more than 4) and another cell is blank. For example, AD27 contains 6, k27 is blank. I want AE27 to show 1. I also need the same if the value is less than 5, but i'm sure i could figure out how to alter it.
i am trying to find a cell in column C (if cell =140) and copy that cell and the adjacent cell in column "D" to worksheets called" upload" then repeat through multiple tabs- repeating process and dumping values in columns on the "upoload" worksheet
